losing sweet tooth on NT

[Guest guest]

I received a box of good chocolates for my birthday last Saturday, and have

eaten a few of the chocolates over the last few days. I didn't open the box

when I first got it because I just didn't feel like it. But I just threw it

away now, as I really don't feel like eating them, and my stomach is upset

this morning. (I had a few after dinner last night, and am not sure if

that's what upset my stomach.)

This is VERY odd behaviour for me because I have had a lifelong sweet tooth.

When I was a kid, saturday morning was my favorite time of the week because

I went to the newspaper store with my dad, in what is now L.L. Bean's anchor

store in Freeport, Me. (Only the upper floor was l.l. beans back then). That

store had lots of penny candies and comic books - my two favorite things! So

I spent my whole allowance (something like a quarter) on candy and comics.

I've *always* craved sweets. But since going more NT (and I am by no means

'all out' NT), I find I am losing my sweet tooth. There is no other

explanation for why I'd throw away a half eaten box of Wilbur's chocolates

(except perhaps, the fact that I already ate the few fudge and caramel

pieces, leaving mostly yucky maple or raspberry filled ones).

Anyway, I got a box of the same chocolates last xmas, and enthusiastically

ate it - even the maple and raspberry ones. 4 months of a more NTish diet,

and I could care less about a box of chocolates. I also realized the other

day that I can hardly get through a few bites of my favorite ben & jerry's

ice cream (vanilla heath bar crunch) without it tasting too sicky sweet. I

used to be able to polish off about 1/3 container without problem.

Has anyone else, who is a diehard sweet tooth, noticed reduced cravings and

tolerance for sweets since going more NT?
